===================================
U.S. ROBOTICS SYSOP SUPPORT PROGRAM
General:
This section describes the rules of the U.S. Robotics
SYSOP Program. U.S. Robotics reserves the right to modify or change these
rules at any time.
Scope:
The U.S. Robotics SYSOP Program permits QUALIFIED SYSOPs to purchase current
U.S. Robotics products at a reduced price. The purpose of this program is to
continue the close relationship established many years ago between U.S.
Robotics and the Sysop community. Participants should recognize that our
ability to continue the program is dependent upon the strong position U.S.
Robotics enjoys in the reseller channel, with the distributors and dealers,
VARs, etc. that continue to buy and resell our products to home and business
users around the world. It is our intent to maintain the integrity of our
channel relationships by closely
scrutinizing each SYSOP sale to ensure that we only sell products to
qualified SYSOPs.
Qualifications:
1. This program is designed for traditional bulletin board systems that do
not offer internet access. Internet service providers may take advantage of
other programs offered by U.S. Robotics by calling 1-800-USR-CORP.
International callers may call 1-847-982-5010.
2. Traditional bulletin board systems that also offer premium internet
services may qualify for this program, but must be limited to 10 modems per
year. The primary purpose of the bulletin board system must be the system's
non-inter net features. Premium internet services include the World Wide Web,
Telnet, FTP, IRC, and SLIP/PPP access.
3. The SYSOP states that he/she is NOT in the business of
reselling computer products and/or related peripherals, including modems.
Qualified resellers may take advantage of other programs offered by U.S.
Robotics by calling (800) 342-5877 and asking for the dealer sales
representative for your area. International callers may call 1-847-982-5010.
4. The SYSOP has been operating the bulletin board system
for at least six (6) months and that this activity can be verified by dialing
into the bulletin board system. Typically user logs, activity logs, and lo
cal message bases are a good source for verifying activity.
*** The exception to this rule is as follows:
If you are a registered owner of any of the following software packages US
Robotics automatically waives the 6 month verification portion of the
qualifications. US Robotics is proud to have entered into this agreement
with:

5. The SYSOP understands that the number of modems that may be obtained
under this program is limited to the number of working, VERIFIABLE data
lines. Data lines MUST be dedicated for modem use only and MUST be available
24 hours a day for modem access. Modems purchased under this program MUST be
used on one of the stated lines.
6. The SYSOP agrees to post an appropriate logon notice, visible to users of
the bulletin board, which states that said bulletin board uses and supports
U.S. Robotics brand products.
7. The SYSOP agrees that he/she intends to operate the bulletin board, for
which these products are purchased, for at least six (6) months post
purchase. The U.S. Robotics logon must remain in effect for six (6) months
to allow verification that the bulletin board is in place and that the U.S.
Robotics promotional message is being displayed.
8. The SYSOP agrees that, in order to avoid conflict with the U.S. Robotics
reseller channel, modems purchased under this program cannot be re-sold
without the expressed written consent of U.S. Robotics. Violation of this
policy will result in the SYSOP's being ineligible for future participation
in the U.S. Robotics SYSOP program. In addition, any warranties on modems
re-sold without U.S. Robotics authorization will be null and void.
9. The SYSOP understands that initialization of the verification process may
take from one (1) to fifteen (15) days depending on the number of orders be
ing processed by the SYSOP Support Department, and difficulty in verifying
your bulletin board. Shipment of product will take from six (6) to eight (8)
we eks. If product is not available, longer delays may apply.
U.S. Robotics will ship product(s) to QUALIFIED SYSOPs as soon as possible
after:
A. The SYSOP completes the order form and questionnaire found on the
U.S. Robotics BBS via the SYSOP command at the main menu. These
must be filled-out on-line as no mail-in orders will be accepted.
Prepaid orders will NOT be processed until payment has been received by U.S.
Robotics. After placing an order on the board, a SYSOP wishing to prepay
his/her order should send a money order or cashier's check for U.S. funds to:
U.S. Robotics
SYSOP Support Program
7770 N. Frontage Rd.
Skokie, IL 60077
It is imperative that the SYSOP name, voice phone number and BBS phone number
be indicated for identification purposes. A personal or company check is
acceptable, but the check must be certified. NO CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS WILL
BE DEPOSITED BY U.S. ROBOTICS UNTIL THE SYSOP's BBS HAS BEEN VERIFIED.

B. The SYSOP understands that once an order is placed, it cannot be
changed. If you are uncertain as to the product you want to
purchase, you may consult the Information & Text Files file
area of this bulletin board for product information. Or, you may
call the U.S. Robotics Technical Support Department at (800)
550-7800 or call our Fax on Demand system at 800-762-6163 or
847-676-8536.
C. Your board will be verified by a U.S. Robotics Online Support
Analyst. We MUST be able to connect with your bulletin board
to verify board status. In the event that we are uncertain of your
board status, you will be notified by a U.S. Robotics
representative. We will advise you as best we can as to what you
need to provide in order to have your board verified (appropriate
logon, copy of phone bill, software registration, etc.). In no case
will we verify a board until we are certain that it meets the
requirements of the program.
D. U.S. Robotics will not accept voice phone-in orders.
E. U. S. Robotics reserves the right to modify, change or cancel this
program at any time.
F. If you have any questions regarding this program, please call
(800) 550-7800 for clarification.
*** THANK YOU ***
ADDENDUM
We realize that all Bulletin Boards are not the same and we are not always
able to ascertain their validity during our normal verification process. In
order not to exclude those Bulletin Boards from our program, we may request
additional information such as copies of telephone bills, proof of software
purchase and/or registration and network and association membership. This
information will only be requested by U.S. Robotics in rare cases and can not
be used solely as a means of qualification.
Before placing an order, please take steps to ensure the process goes as
easily as possible.
1. Create a login for U.S. Robotics
2. Ensure no questionnaires or voting is necessary
3. If your logon requires information other than password be sure to
include this information on the order.
4. Once this is established logon under the U.S. Robotics ID and look for
verifiable proof of six months activity. If you can't find it, odds are
we won't be able to either.
** US Robotics CAN NOT download special software to verify **
** your BBS. We support the basic communication platforms. **
U.S. Robotics is determined to provide a SYSOP Program which is fair and
equitable to everyone. Any requests made of SYSOPs in order to verify
Bulletin Boards are made in order to ensure that the program serves the
entire SYSOP community and protect the USR distribution channel as well.
We will make every effort to process each and every order in a
professional and courteous manner. Please help us to provide the type
of service you want and deserve by filling-out the order form as
completely and accurately as possible and responding to our requests for
additional information in a prompt manner.
